The report is such a joke – all it amounts to is a bunch of finger pointing, whispers, and rumors. Mitchell should be ashamed to publish this as if it is a real investigation. What ever happened to the burden of proof? I’m not saying everyone on the list is clean, but I doubt everyone on the list is dirty. But now they’ll all go down next to Bonds in the books.

By the way, Steve Phillips is the greatest %#@ in baseball. Oh wait, he’s not actually in baseball anymore, is he?

Seriously could Jose Canseco be a bigger loser? If he had anything on Arod he would have put it in the first book. He probaly ran out of money again. If he keeps talking about Arod to get attention, Arod should sue.

Wasn’t HGH not banned by mlb until 2003 or 2004? in which case, yes pettitte used it, and yes it was a PED, but he can always just say he took it knowing it wasnt banned…

Everyone thought Canseco was crazy when his book first came out. I believed it then, because all you had to do was look around at these guys as big as silverback gorillas popping dingers left and right. Whoever didn’t believe it just had their head in the sand. Canseco’s a smarmy guy, but he didn’t HAVE to make anything up.

Say what you want about that pompous windbag Mitchell and his mockery of an investigation, Andy’s hiding behind his agents and needing to “consult” with the MLBPA speaks volumes.

You think if McNamee (a guy who spent hundreds and hundreds of hours with Pettitte and slept in his house on a number of occasions) had accused him of molesting a child, or made some other false accusation, he’d need to consult with the Players Association before responding? Not f’ing likely.

Andy (not his agents) needs to step forward and answer the allegations. And for the love of Christ, no half-assed Giambi-esque, kind of, sorta, almost apology, either.

Hmmn, Jose Canseco almost makes me long for the days when Arnold Rothstein could police the game.

In a perfect world, someone would introduce Jose to one of Rothstein’s henchman.

In yet another unanswered question from the Mitchell Report, Canseco was never interviewed. Guess Sen. Mitchell might have thought him to be less than a reliable informant and the opportunist that he appears to be.

I agree with those who said that if Canseco had anything on A-Rod it would have been in the first book. He had no guarantee of a second one tha he was saving the good stuff for.

Conseco was also on Larry King complaining that the report claimed that he had given Clemens steroids. Former Sen. Mitchell called back in to say that the report makes no such claim, but only says Conseco discussed steroids with Clemens.
Is there anyone Conseco did not discuse steroids with?

Didn’t Jose talk to Mitchell about what he knew? And if he did he would have said stuff about Arod

He may be a jerk and have his own non-altruistic reasons for spilling the beans, but Jose has been the most truthful public figure on this subject for the past three years.
